As reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter by Dave Meltzer, the WWE Superstar’s return to SmackDown effectively ends his singles run in the WWE for the foreseeable future.
It was additionally noted that WWE sent Big E over to the blue brand to reunite him with his New Day teammates.
However, given WWE’s lack of main event-level opponents for Roman Reigns, Vince McMahon’s company could pull the trigger on an extended program between the ex-WWE Champion and the Tribal Chief in 2022.
Will Big E return to singles title contention anytime soon?
The New Day member ended 2021 as WWE Champion and entered the inaugural Day 1 event as the favorite to retain his title.
The unforeseen last-minute changes stemming from Roman Reigns testing positive for COVID-19 meant Big E dropped the championship to Brock Lesnar.
The former champion has since failed to get back into the title picture and had a forgettable Royal Rumble. He had zero eliminations in the men’s Rumble, which was also won by The Beast Incarnate.
Vince McMahon and his team have seemingly halted the former RAW star’s high-profile singles run, and he is expected to be a part of SmackDown’s tag team scene from now on.
However, a future program with Roman Reigns is a possibility for later this year, and it could reignite the 35-year-old wrestler’s solo career.
